U.S. Military Spending Is Out Of Control: 12 Facts That Show That We Cannot Afford To Be The Police Of The World. Today, the United States has become the police of the world.

The U.S. military has a total of over 700 military bases in 130 countries around the world. Total military spending by the U.S. government is nearly equal to the combined military spending of the rest of the globe. Meanwhile, the federal government is literally drowning in debt. So if we make some significant cuts to military spending will we fix the national debt problem? Of course not. Not that we don’t need a strong military. But you know what? What possible justification could there possibly be for having U.S. troops in 130 different nations? Why in the world do we still need huge contingents of troops in Germany and Japan? Look, it is about darn time that nations like Japan and Germany learned to defend themselves. We are spending so many resources patrolling the streets of Iraq and rounding up goat herders in Afghanistan that we aren’t even preparing ourselves for the real threats.

Glenn Carle has written a shocking new tell-all memoir detailing his time with the agency in which he confessed that some people would call him a 'torturer'. Though the CIA has already redacted 40 per cent of his book in a two-year battle to get it published, Carle was still able to provide a vivid account of his journey to a CIA 'black site' or secret prison. He was told to 'do whatever is necessary' - subverting Geneva conventions in favour of the American flag.
